Still haven't done the Wiki... I'll create it and push again

[nitaybz]

actually I saw that the Wiki contains the information on the parameters so I'll supply the information here so if you pull the request you can copy this data to the Wiki:

{
      "name": "Sprinklers",
      "type": "waterValve",
      "manufacturer": "Tuya",
      "model": "Smart Wifi Water Valve",,
      "id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
       "key": "#############",

    /* Water Valve Configurations */

    /* Additional parameters to override defaults only if needed */

    /* Change the Valve Types (homekit icon), default: GENERIC_VALVE, options: IRRIGATION / SHOWER_HEAD / WATER_FAUCET */
    "valveType": "IRRIGATION",

    /*  set to true when you want to CANCEL homekit timer on the valve */
    "noTimer": false,

    /*  Default duration for the valve timer in seconds for when homebridge restarts (can be set from the home app afterwards), default is 600 (10 minutes) */
    "defaultDuration": 600,

    /* Override the default datapoint identifier for power */
    "dpPower": 1
}

Thanks a lot for this. I presume you have this device and have gotten to test your code. I will pull it in shortly.

Just to educate me, can you please share the schema and signature of the device?

[nitaybz]

sorry for the wait... here is the schema:

{
    name: 'Sprinklers',
    id: 'XXXXXXXXX',
    key: 'XXXXXXXX',
    def: {
      schema: '[{"mode":"rw","code":"switch_1","name":"\\u5f00\\u51731","property":{"type":"bool"},"iconname":"icon-dp_power2","id":1,"type":"obj","desc":""},{"mode":"rw","code":"countdown_1","name":"\\u5f00\\u51731\\u5012\\u8ba1\\u65f6","property":{"unit":"s","min":0,"max":86400,"scale":0,"step":1,"type":"value"},"iconname":"icon-dp_time2","id":9,"type":"obj","desc":""}]',
      extras: '[{"id":1,"inputStyle":"","inputType":"plain"},{"id":9,"inputStyle":"","inputType":"plain"}]',
    },
  },

There is a way to create a countdown timer within the tuya app which is great for the sprinkler timer in Homekit but I didn't know how to handle with it so I did the timer internally the plugin itself.

I have two Tuya water valves and want to connect them to home bridge. None of the plugins I’ve found support this type of device. I’m kind of a noob here. How can I add your plugin to homebridge (HOOBS)

[vitaliy-kozlov]

Hi, Any news about adding support for valve device yet?

[nitaybz]

there is in the homebridge-tuya plugin... you can add valve via 'waterValve' type

There are a lot of plugins with that name. Are you referring to this one? https://plugins.hoobs.org/plugin/@newbishme/homebridge-tuya

Hi! I can confirm that the homebridge-tuya plugin (the one you link to looks to be the correct one, I found it here: https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya) works with the "WaterValve" type. I had issues with mine defaulting to turning off after ten minutes but thanks to this thread I was able to disable that part. My relevant homebridge config looks like this:

{
"name": "Hovedkran",
"type": "WaterValve",
"noTimer": true,
"defaultDuration": 600,
"dpPower": 1,
"manufacturer": "Tuya",
"model": "Smart Valve Controller",
"id": "",
"key": ""
}

Now, if I could only find something for my Tuya natural gas sensor...
